WGST 330 Global Feminisms (3)

This course will examine feminist movements and the development of feminist theory in a diverse global context. We will learn about how the global women’s movement and transnational feminist networks are responding to injustices and inequalities around the world. Students will be challenged to think critically about the impact of social norms, structural constraints, institutional arrangements, and public policies on the lived experiences of individuals around the world, as they are shaped by an individual’s gender, race, nationality, and social class position. Topics may include reproductive rights, global economic inequality, gender violence, social movements, and sex trafficking and sex work.
